No. Aha Roguish Artist.
There's a sprightly young fellow that comes to
our house,
And he enters az once without ringing.
He creeps in as softly and sly rs a mouse
Or in at the window comes springing.
This young jackanapes Is an artist by trade,
Drawing landscapes Of picturesque places.
And broidery fine By his skill Is portrayed.
Surprising the richest OF laces.
Van Dyck, the old master, who was sought AFTER
much.
To picture the famous court beauties.
Never equaled In color. or finish, or touch,
The tints that our artist produces.
So hthesome in person, such light in the eyes,
Such dainty and brilliant complexion,
Does he give when he paints, that one would sur
mise
That his laborS would meet no rejection.
But the sprite that he is will all tenderness crush,
And place him beyond all endurance,
For most delicate waves he attaches with MS
brush.
And skaters with Saucy assurance.
And if at the door just a moment we stand,
Where in leaving he ~playfully fingers,
We shall find that while he was saluting our
hand,
That the rogue had been biting our FINGERS.

Einety-two sweet girls in sight
Girls in blue and girls in white;

Girls with most bewitehing eyes.
Girls below the girls o'erhead:
Girls in pink and girls in red;
Girls in every style OF tresse,
But, alas! no girls in dresses.

A Tough Railroad Time.

The timetable of the Valley Railroad
which was so thrown out of keller last
month, by the unprecedented rush of
freight, has gotten all straight again.
During the rush, while the public was
cursing the road about the mail and pas
senger transportation, its employees were
cursing it for giving them no sleep. some
Of the trips On it during the press are
worthy of note. A gentleman who travel
led on a mixed train sixty miles,
left Woodstock at P. M. and reached his
destination in eleven hours. Another gen.
tleman who boarded the train at Strss-
burg at P M. for Woodstock. twelve
miles distant, reached his destination at
A. M, six hours on the way. The con-
ductor, worn down with loss of sleep, was
standing up asleep On the platform of the
car. Another, coming from Baltimore to
Woodstock, left the FORMER at l O'Clock
|, in the afternoon and reached Woodstock
at O'Clock the next morning. The Wood
stock "Virginian" says:
A reliable gentleman and prominent bust
| ness man from this place, who left Woodstock
one evening lately at p. M, arrived at his
destination the next morning. accomplishing
| 60 miles in IL hours, states that twice on the
| way the engineer stopped the train and had
| to come in and waken the conductor and
| brakeman and tell them where they were. The
engineer, the second time, threatened to re-
| port them. They replied they did not care.
| They would rather be discharged than killed
| with overwork, claiming that they no sooner
| got to the end of the run than they had to
| start out again.

Clerical Notes.


Rev. DR.. Woodfn, the Baptist pastor at
Hampton, Va, preached an able sermon
at the First Presbyterian church here On
Sunday night.
Rev. j. E. Booker, the new pastor of
Hebron, is expected to preach there on
Sunday 1t seems that his Charleston
congregation while they could not keep
him, determined not to give their assis-
lance to his going, so when the vote was
taken on uniting with him in an appljca-
ton to Presbytery, few affirmative votes
were given but the rest of the congrega-
ton wouldn't vote either way. The
Charleston Star of the Goth Sept says:
"Since Mr.. Booker has acted as co-pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of this city,
he has made many warm friends and admirers
who will be extremely sorry to see him leave.
He is a man of broad, liberal mind, and of
high scholarly attainments His sermons have
been plain aid to the point being fearless
and open denunc1aton of the wrong doing
among members of the church, as we'll as en-
tertaining dissertations on the character of the
christian religion. Mr.. Booker is an earnest,
God-fearing man. and good minister; one
more than usually pleasant in his pastoral re-
lations with his congregation"
Rev. G. Gumbert, pastor of the Re
formed Church near Middlebrook, has &C
cepted call IN Pennsylvania.
Rt. Rev. John J. Keane, Bishop of the
Catholic Diocese of Richmond, will preach
at st. Francis Church Sunday, at High
Mass, at 104 o'clock A. M.

Day of Atonement.

On Wednesday last, our Jewish citizens
commemorated Yom Kippur, the day of
Atonement, at the synagogue. The SER
vices at the synagogue commenced on
Tuesday evening and were resumed on
Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock, and
continued all day. On Tuesday evening
days fast was commemorative fast
being absolute, nothing to eat or drink, of
any character, being taken in the twenty
four hours. 1t was the last of ten peniten-
t1al days that began On the new year;
during which period the pious and reflect
i've Israelite reviews his past actions, and
by determination to forsake evil, and
amend his conduct hopes to be pardoned
for past sins. The day Of atonement is
also called the white fast, white being
considered an emblem of purity or purifca
ton. 1t is strict fast "from evening to
evening" and is almost universally OBJ
served by conforming Jews, even if they
be lax in other observances.
Succoth. the feast of tabernacles, will
begin next Sunday evening, October I'd,
and be celebrated for seven days. only the
first being considered sacred. 1t is fes-
tival of pleasure and rejoicing. The eighth
day is called "a day of solemn assembly, y
and special prayers are offered for rain to
replenish the earth, and that the soil may
be productive and fruitful for the coming
year. Neviticus xiii, 3343).
This year an additional day called Sim
chas Torah-rejoicing of the law-will be
celebrated to commemorate the compile
ton of the reading of the Penta.euch, a
portion of which IS read every Sabbath,
during term of one, three, or five years,
according to the custom of different con-
gregations.
Among those from abroad who attend
cd the services at the synagogue, We6nes-
day, was Miss Rose Weille of Kentucky. Ia
pupil at the Virginia Female INSTITUTED,
and Mr.. Marx Eisenman of Roanoke, for
merly of this city.
